Salomon Kalou and Abdoulaye Meite may return to the Ivory Coast national football team for Wednesday's friendly at Germany.
The players sat out Saturday's 3-0 win over Guinea after Kalou kicked Meite following a foul by his teammate in training.
Ivorian football federation president Jacques Anouma coaxed the players into a reconciliation after the Friday training session but coach Vahid Halilhodzic still left them out of his side.
Kalou says "we have been punished and I take responsibility for what happened. This is how you make progress: admit to your mistakes and move on."
